S.C. WILL STAGE MOCK
TITLE TO BE AT STAKE IN FINALSERIES
Visitors Hold Edge Over S. C.; Trojans Need Both Games To Win Pennant.
Championship honors in the California Intercollegiate baseball league will be at stake at 2:50 this afternoon on Bovard Field when the Trojans tackle St. Mary’s in the second game of the three-game series. The visitors hold die edge over the home talent with a 2-0 victory in the north, and that contest has given them a half-game lead in the race for the flag.
TROJANS NEED GAMES
The Trojans need both games to win the pennant. If they drop either today’s game or tomorrow’s, they will have lost the series to the Saints, and then the best they can get out of the league is a tie. Inasmuch as they will Iiave been beaten by the Saints, the northerners will be awarded the title.
Coach Sam Crawford probably will start Ted Sahlberg on the mound today. The husky twirler worked three innings against Whittier recently, and didn’t seem to be at his best, although he was graced with a comfortable lead at the Ume, and didn’t have to toil to any great extent Against the strong opposition that St. Mary’s is capable of providing, Sahlberg will bear down from the first ball pitched, till the last. Web Gibson probably will handle the receiving duties in today’s contest, as usual.
“Lefty” Illia is the choice announced for the visitors. He has been their star twirler to date, and is confident of being able to set back the Trojans without difficutly.
The St. Mary’s record to date is impressive. They defeated California two out of three, lost to Stanford by the same margin, won two games from Santo Cl*ra and one each from the Trojans and U. C. L. A. Which indicates that ..the Saints are well on their way to their second championship.

Every effort is being made to create a strictly Spanish atmosphere. The menu is to be printed in the language and Lacayo will be present during the hour between 12:15 and 1:15 in order to aid in conversation.

Collegiate Atmosphere To Be Keynote of Dutch Grill; To Open Soon.
An intimate, collegiate atmosphere is to be the key-note of the new Dutch grill which will shortly be opened in the basement of the Student Union building, according to Jay Lockhart, manager of the fountain service. An effort will be made to get away from all formality. Gaming tables are to be installed and appropriate decorations, consisting of football pictures and college pennants will line the walls.
The service will be different from that which is to be had at the present time at the student fountain. Sandwiches and other light foods are to be the speciality.
An entirely new set of furniture is to be installed. There will be no stools at the fountain, but tables will be provided for those that wish to use them.
The grill, which wil be under the same management as the student fountain, will serve the best food obtainable, and at popular prices, according to Lockhart.
